One good book on mercury amalgam fillings is "It's All In Your Head" by Hal Huggins.
Look for a holistic or liberal dentist to do the filling replacement. I think I read somewhere that chelation therapy is the only way to rid the body of accumulated mercury.
Read up on chemical sensitivities and candida. Avoid things like paint, newspaper ink, perfume, household cleaning products, new carpet, stuff like new shower curtains right out of the package and anything that outgasses chemicals. If your eyes burn immediately upon exposure that's a good sign you are sensitive.
Minimizing exposure to chemicals and allergens is good but you need to go after the source. Most allergies and chemical senstivity start in the gut. The goal is to kill the candida and return the gut back to a healthy condition.
It's like a battle on two fronts. To complicate things, when you kill off a lot of candida, you may feel worse at first. I think it's called "die off" syndrome or something like that. In my case, I felt agitated and couldn't think straight.
It's been so long since I've discussed this topic, I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot. There's tons of literature and websites about candida. Follow the diet. Avoid food like bread, of course, and anything with yeast in it. Sugar is also out. Basically, the anti-candida diet is a healthy one that avoids processed foods and sugar.
I noticed the most improvement with the dental filling replacement and grapefruit seed extract. I think I had a few sessions of chelation therapy right after each dental appointment. It involved an IV drip for a few hours and I felt great later but I'm not sure what they called it.
I get my grapefruit seed extract at the following places:

Since your digestion may be compromised, you may want to avoid tablets and get capsules instead. The hard tablets may go right through you.
Don't give up hope. This may be the start of an adventure for you.
